Wolfgang is spot on in his assessment of the media. I've been in the TV news biz for about 20 years and have worked on national talk shows for about 4 years and have spent time in various other public affairs and mass media areas.
True the money behind the media may be right wing, but their oversight is primarily bottom line.
When you get down to the trenches, where the content decisions are made, the leaders and troops are leaning to the extreme left. This is not just my opinion; this has been borne out by countless studies and surveys. A often quoted survey indicated that something like 85% of the Washington press votes Democratic.
And you don't think that influences what you see and how it's reported?
Those are facts, this is opinion..
DL is abrasive, her use of the Dr. title is misleading, her style is annoying, and her life has had problems which leads to some of her advise coming across as hypocritical. But I fell the truth behind her opinions is right on the money.
Families are shoveling their kids of to day care because the need 2 incomes to ?survive?. B.S. As a nation we are sacrificing our children so that we can have a shiny new car every 3 years.
Parents are tearing apart families and exposing their own flesh and blood to the darkest sides of human nature because ?the spark just isn?t in the marriage anymore?. Cruel and selfish. The notion that couples should ?stay together for the kids? is a difficult one to agree with, but it is the right thing to do. Set aside your selfish impulses and desires and put on a very good act. Is it deceptive? Yes. Is it living a lie and presenting a false front to your children? Yes.
But by the time your well-adjusted kids find out the truth they?ll have the emotional tools neccesary to deal with it.
Of course if they can?t put on a convincing act and do separate, both parents should spend whatever money and expend whatever energy, and make whatever sacrifices it takes to provide a nurturing environment for the children.
Her basic message is that raising well-adjusted children is the number 1 priority of parents and society as a whole. I may not always agree with the messenger, but the message is irrefutable.
